Introduction

Oncologists are at the front lines of cancer care. They navigate a complex landscape of rapidly changing treatments, technologies, and patient expectations. In this dynamic environment, it is essential for oncologists to carefully examine and share their clinical data. This practice is not just an academic task; it is vital for fostering a realistic understanding of cancer outcomes. It helps prevent undue influence from market-driven innovations and ensures optimal patient-centered care. Such care focuses on prevention and early intervention instead of resorting to last-minute technological fixes that can often be misleading.
